HASTEN can be used successfully in GLYPHOSATE mixes especially where the
mixing partner is usually recommended for use with HASTEN. The following
examples come from larger studies undertaken by Conservation Farmers Inc.
and published in The 2nd Fallow Weed Management Guide.

Glyphosat CT 1,5 L+ALLY*5g + HASTEN 1%

92% Control of volunteer Mungbeans, Turnip weed and Pigweed

Glyphosat CT 1,5 L+LONTREL*100ml + HASTEN 1%

86.3% Control of volunteer Mungbeans, Turnip weed and Pigweed

Glyphosat CT 1,5 L+PLEDGE*100 ml + HASTEN 0,5%

99% Control of Cowvine and 92.5% control of Polymeria

HASTEN spray adjuvant is a blend of esterified vegetable oil and
non-ionic surfactants that has :
Proven cost effective performance for over 10 years with a
wide range of agricultural products,
Excellent plant and insect penetrating and wetting properties,
An internationally recognised tradename and reputation for
reliability,
Approval by Environmental Protection Agencies in many
countries including the USA,
Renewable material – Vegetable oil – as its base raw material,
A high quality formulation providing easy dispersion and stable
emulsion characteristics, and
International Patents granted and pending.

HASTEN is a unique spray adjuvant that has been designed to
improve the efficacy of a wide range of agricultural products
including; Herbicides (selective and non-selective), Insecticides,
Fungicides and Defoliants.

When HASTEN is tank mixed with certain post-emergent herbicide
products and applied in the field, the non-ionic surfactants in
the HASTEN formulation help to retain spray droplets and ensure
thorough coverage of plant surfaces. The esterified oil in the
HASTEN formulation will retard crystallization of herbicides as
water evaporates from spray droplets. It will also increase the
penetration of herbicides through a plant’s epicuticular waxy
surface leading to enhanced weed control. It is this dual action
of surfactant and esterified oil which makes HASTEN a very
effective adjuvant with many post-emergent Herbicides.

HASTEN is primarily used as a tank mix adjuvant, that is,
the herbicide and HASTEN are added separately to the spray tank. This
provides the greatest flexibility for matching the use rate of HASTEN
with the situation at hand eg. environmental conditions, weed types,
spray equipment etc. HASTEN can also be formulated directly with
Herbicide formulations where market conditions make this preferable.

HASTEN is a non-ionic formulation which makes it compatible with
most herbicides. In fact, HASTEN has been in use for over 10 years
with many herbicides around the world and has been found to be
physically compatible with major herbicide products.

HASTEN has been tested and evaluated by universities, lifescience
companies, research organizations and independent researchers
for many years. It has been established that HASTEN is a very
effective adjuvant for improving the performance of herbicides and
in many situations will outperform both emulsified petroleum and
vegetable oil based products. It has also been observed that
HASTEN is capable of increasing the activity of certain herbicides
which may result in crop injury. Therefore in all new situations it is
important to test HASTEN with the herbicide in a small area prior to
applying it on a commercial scale.

HASTEN is successfully used by farmers in many different
countries around the world with a diverse range of agricultural
products including herbicides. In Australia, HASTEN was
commercialized in 1996 and is now recognised as a leading
adjuvant by farmers, distributors and lifescience companies. After
extensive testing many lifescience companies, including BASF,
BAYER, DOW, DUPONT, SUMITOMO and SYNGENTA have endorsed
and recommend the use of HASTEN on some of their herbicide
labels. A list covering the use of these herbicides in Australia is
provided as Table 1.

HASTEN may be used in place of non-ionic surfactants or crop oil
concentrates when permitted by herbicide labels.

Typically, HASTEN is added to the spray tank at a concentration of
0.5-1.0% when spray volumes are between 50-100 Litres per
hectare. In situations where the agricultural practice is to use a
higher volume than 100 Litres per hectare, HASTEN is typically used
at 0.5-1.0 Litres per hectare.

Appearance : Bright Clear Liquid

Specific Gravity (20ºC): 0.9 g/ml

Colour: 10 Gardner Max

Trial 1 Notes: Weed control was observed to be less effective and much
slower than normal due to unseasonally dry conditions. However the
benefits of using HASTEN were evident.

Trial 2 Notes: HASTEN was found to be a superior adjuvant to AGRAL 90
when used with REFINE EXTRA for the weeds shown.

Trial 3 Notes: HASTEN enhanced the weed control significantly when
applied with TOPIK at the sub-lethal dose of 30g/ha.
